LARGO - Beginning Monday, May 19, Pinellas County Animal Services is sponsoring a week-long “neuterathon” to help reduce cat overpopulation in county communities.

The shelter is providing free neuters to male cats whose owners reside in Pinellas County and are current on rabies vaccinations and licensing. Rabies vaccinations and licensing can be updated for the cost of $25.

Cats must be contained in a carrier and feral cats must be in traps. The shelter has openings for 100 appointments that week. Appointments can be made on a first come, first served basis by calling 582-2600, option 8.
